3hp force/mariner problem
(Simon Marshall) wrote in message . com...
Hello all
I have a 3hp force/mariner outboard, 10 years old, 2 stroke. Has
worked very well for the 2 years I've owned it, but recently developed
a problem:
The outboard starts fine, idles fine, but when I go to rev it beyond
1/3rd or so throttle it dies. I have cleaned the insides of the carb,
cleaned the tank and the fuel line and replaced the spark plug.
The problem seems to rectify itself for a few seconds if I put the
choke on momentarily....
I am running a 1 in 75 oil mix.
Any ideas?
Clean the carbs for real. That means get a carb rebuild kit, get some
carb cleaner, take it apart, carefully clean all passages, you may
need some very thin wire to clean them out, be very clean when putting
things back together.
